Children have a strong need to be in control of their own lives. Power struggles with their parents most commonly erupt during toddler and teen years, but can occur at any time, to the misery of everyone involve.

Parents learn -- -- what issues of importance to the parent will cause power struggles to occur -- discipline techniques that keep power struggles from arising -- how to avoid power struggles by giving appropriate choices -- when and how to let children decide for themselves -- ways to end power struggles peacefully -- which power struggles a parent will always lose Without clear guidance and controls from parents, children flounder.
